  • Our "Weird and Wonderful" one-shot contest is now underway! Pokémon are strange and magical creatures, and for our writing contest this year, we want to see you higlight some of their oddest abilities and features! From stories about luxray thieves using X-ray vision to scope out targets to those about trainers bewitching opponents with their stantlers' mystic antlers, any sort of fic featuring a pokémon's unusual lore is welcome! Entries are due at 11:59 PM July 13th UTC.

    "Oh! That." Surf nodded. "Guess with all the crazy stuff that's been happening, I forgot that you can just deliver letters. Yeah, we've got that. D'you want to borrow a paper or something to write them a letter? If it's addressed from Team Spice, you bet they'll read it." "Writing to other...

    Surf and Turf exchanged looks at this one, frowning. "Sorry," Surf said. "We have the Waypoint stuff for travel within the continent, but it's not really strong enough to go across entire oceans like that. They're mostly for Dungeons... or, well, where Dungeons used to be. And other big towns...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    Owen blinked a few times, surprised at how much Brisa had said just then. Suddenly, it all seemed to click for him, and he'd put a hand over his heart without realizing it. "Brisa..." Surf was less perceptive, merely nodding and saying, "I guess we both have a pretty good reason to find him...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    Surf and Turf exchanged a look, then nodded at one another. "I think I know what you're talking about," Surf said. "It's about his old life, right?" Turf frowned. "If you become a Pokemon and live in this world, that means you stopped being human in another. That's what Dad said when we...

    "I have no idea what that means, but if you want to fight, I can!" Owen grinned, and his happy, blazing tail let the rest of his thoughts be known. "Where I'm from, feral Pokemon are... they're different. They look a little different, they can't even talk--or, well, they can, I think, but it's...

    The Croconaw nodded back. "And I'm Surf," she said, "and this is my little sister, Turf. Sorry we didn't meet properly until now, um... Brisa." Turf giggled. "That's a funny name." "C'mon, they aren't from this world, maybe it's an alias," Surf said, and then tried to smile toward Brisa. "And...

    Surf's eyes brightened, and even Turf's did a little. "What? You mean you're another half-human?!" Surf nearly sprang up to grab Brisa by the paw, but stopped herself halfway. "I, er--sorry, I got too excited. Y'see, it's not exactly common, since there's only, like, four humans in the whole...

    "Yeah, we're definitely tough," Surf said, holding up a fist as if to demonstrate. "Being half human can do that to a gal." A phantom of a smile crossed Turf's expression, but she tried to hide it, like she wanted to be sad for the time being. The medical supplies were largely unnecessary but...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    Compared to their last visit, Team Spice's home in Sharpedo Bluff had a quieter, calmer atmosphere. The wind whistled through the opening of the home from the Sharpedo's stone mouth until they closed it behind them, and Owen trailed in the back of the team of three. Turf was curled up in her...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    Owen waved as well, having caught up with Brisa just before they'd gotten to the Bluff. "Are Surf and Turf down there?" Owen asked, looking toward the open entryway in the ground. "What kind of medicine did you get?" He wondered where Diyem was and what was occupying him, but decided against...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    Diyem had watched the tail-end of it without much knowledge about what had come before. He'd only heard the message from Starr, which rudely had interrupted his reading of Ho-Oh's Absurd Escapade. But now, this was perhaps even more absurd than before. After a brief check of their psyche...

    "I will find him posthaste!" Truffle said with a dutiful bow, and then, after slipping the jar into his bag, he flew off. Maple frowned, watching the 'empty' jar slip away. "...A foe we cannot see... and a foe we cannot fight." She looked down. "It doesn't make sense..." Turf was mumbling...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    The slime thing had put up quite a fight at first, blasting Necrozma with several blasts that had stung, but were not particularly strong. With enough squirming around, and some clever maneuvers, the little monster--apparently now called Jelly--was sealed inside. It slammed its head against the...

    "A jar with a--" Maple stopped channeling her light energy to stare incredulously at Necrozma. "You can't be serious. We can barely see it!" "Maple, do you not have such items at home?" Truffle asked, descending the stairway into the Bluff's hidden home. "Ah, and also, what exactly did I miss?"...

    "Right, where do you want me to shoot? There?" Maple aimed at the strange, shadowy thing, or at least where she thought it was, but the thing immediately slithered to the left instead, hissing loudly. It fired a beam of darkness directly into Maple's face with impeccable aim; because Maple...

    "What... what are you talking about?" Surf said to Starr. "You're just attacking the air!" Meanwhile, the strange creature twitched and curled up, searching for a way out. Despite this, its body seemed too badly beat up to move well, and instead hissed when Celeste approached. "Careful," Maple...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    The thing flailed again, jabbing and thrashing at Starr, but then came Brisa's attack. The crackling electricity made the creature pause and turn its head, if that was a head, toward the incoming blast. And for a moment, Starr would hear it make a strange noise--a growl, no, not a growl, a...

    Sharpedo Bluff

    The slug felt like something between water and gelatin. Her claws tore into the shadowy thing and it flailed and writhed in response. It hurt--its attacks suddenly felt like acid which jabbed and thrashed and bludgeoned against Starr. The attacks themselves were weak, yet they felt like...

    Finally! At least one of you imbeciles listen! The strike rang true, and when Turf was distracted by the call, the phantom's hazy body weaved out of the way of Starr's attack. But Turf didn't move away in time; instead, the phantom looked back in a flash of horror as Turf was struck. Turf...
